SWEEPSTAKES CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO ENTRY METHOD

The entry method can affect the cost as well as your chance to win.

-Online Sweepstakes: This kind of sweepstakes allows you to enter on line. This is the easiest kind of sweepstakes and it is totally free. But just because it is easy and free, there will be many entrants, so the chances of winning will be low.

-Email Sweepstakes: By entering this kind of sweepstakes, you have to send the sponsor your entry information by an email. This is also free but will take you more time.

-Mail-in Sweepstakes: In order to enter this kind of sweepstakes, you will send your entry to the sponsor by postal mail. Thus, you have to pay for postage and so there are fewer people who tend to enter it.

-Call-in Sweepstakes: This kind of sweepstakes is usually run by radio stations or television shows. You have to use the phone number provided by the sponsor to give your entry information to a representative. When entering this kind of sweepstakes, you must be careful of hidden phone charges.

-Drop Boxes: You enter this kind of sweepstakes by filling out an entry form and drop it in a box. They are often found in supermarkets, malls or other local businesses. Oftentimes this kind of sweepstakes is locally so entrants from that area will have higher odds to win.
